The best robot vacuum and mop Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model you should go for. It is smaller than other models and makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best automatic vacuum and mop navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.

It's fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum cleaners best vacuum to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of smart features. However, it's important to remember that it carries periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuums with mop vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. These include the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up pet hair. It was able capture some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that let you know that it was in the process of getting its work done.

The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it comes with some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognizing objects.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for the market that is dominated by boxy models.
